The Sooners’ Landry Jones threw for 298 yards and a late touchdown to get Oklahoma (2-1, 0-1 Big 12) within five but also fumbled and threw an interception that put Kansas State (4-0, 1-0) in position to go ahead.

NO. 13 SOUTHERN CAL 27, CALIFORNIA 9

NO. 21 MICHIGAN STATE 23, EASTERN MICHIGAN 7

In East Lansing, Mich., Le’Veon Bell rushed for a career-high 253 yards and a touchdown to help Michigan State avoid an upset with a win over Eastern Michigan.

NO. 25 NEBRASKA 73, IDAHO STATE 7

In Lincoln, Neb., Rex Burkhead ran for 119 yards and two touchdowns and No. 25 Nebraska made quick work of Idaho State in a 73-7 victory Saturday.
